About Gibson Bar
Gibson Bar is a casual bar in Palma de Mallorca with a long daily opening window. The verified practical details are direct: it opens at 8 AM Monday through Saturday and 8:30 AM on Sunday, closing at 2 AM Monday through Saturday and 1 AM on Sunday.
Because there are no verified details here for cuisine, chef, named dishes, pricing, reservations, seating, or a specific drinks program, it is safest to treat Gibson Bar as a flexible Palma de Mallorca bar option rather than a food-led destination.
A Palma de Mallorca bar to use flexibly, not a food-first booking
For a first visit, the clearest appeal is practicality. Gibson Bar has casual dress and late hours, which can make it useful for plans that need a simple bar stop in Palma de Mallorca.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Gibson Bar anchors Plaça del Mercat with a quietly assured, craft-focused personality. It trades on a classics-first approach — the name itself signals allegiance to the martini canon — and sits comfortably in a square of Modernista facades close to Palma’s historic centre. That setting, combined with an emphasis on studied bartending rather than beachside spectacle, gives the place a sophisticated but unostentatious air. Regulars and curious visitors find a cozy, intimate room where cocktails are taken seriously and the rhythm of the neighbourhood sets the tone.
Best For
This is a neighbourhood bar for people who care about cocktails more than cocktails-as-fashion. It works well for after-work drinks with colleagues, a relaxed casual hangout with friends and low-key date nights where conversation and technique matter. Because Gibson is described as a local anchor rather than a tourist-facing operation, it’s ideal for guests who want a more authentic Palma evening — attentive bartending, considered menus and a quieter, resident-minded crowd rather than high-volume seafront service.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the bar’s namesake and the team’s classical approach: ordering a Gibson or a martini variation is a direct way to experience what the bartenders take seriously. The write-up highlights a focus on gin-and-vermouth ratios and a bartender who has studied the literature, so ask for the house take on a stirred cocktail or for the bartender’s recommendation if you prefer something tailored. Expect technique and balance rather than gimmicks — and come prepared to appreciate the craft.

Bar context
How Gibson Bar compares in Palma
Gibson Bar is the practical choice if you want a central Palma stop with low planning pressure. Compared with Mercat Negre, it reads more like a simple drinks option than a venue to build a whole night around, so choose it when location and ease matter more than a defined bar identity.
Mirall Bar, The Art Bar, Honesty Bar, One Bar are better treated as cross-shops for readers comparing mood and occasion rather than price, since public pricing and format details are not part of the available profile here. If the goal is a confident food-and-drinks plan, Gibson Bar is the less certain pick; if the goal is an easy Centre fallback, it has a clearer use case.
